FLAMEfixx BAL 40 Pine
BAL-40 Bushfire Treated Pine for Decks, Screening and Framing
Building in a bushfire-prone area? FLAMEfixx is treated pine engineered for BAL-40 bushfire construction, giving you compliant timber for decks, screening, framing, and outdoor structures where a standard treated pine will not meet code. It suits everything from patios and playgrounds to commercial buildings and homes in designated bushfire zones, a safe and cost-effective alternative to non-combustible materials. We stock it across MGP10 structural sections (90×45 to 290×45), plus decking and screening profiles.
What Is FLAMEfixx BAL 40 Pine
FLAMEfixx is timber treated with a solution that both preserves the wood and makes it fire-resistant to BAL-40 (Bushfire Attack Level 40). Unlike a surface flame-retardant coating that wears or burns off, FLAMEfixx is impregnated right through: radiata pine is infused with wood preservative and an inorganic metal oxide fire retardant, then pressure and vacuum treated so the whole section is protected, not just the outside. That means the fire rating does not disappear when you cut or dress the timber on site.
Why Builders Choose It
Beyond the BAL-40 rating, FLAMEfixx is versatile across decking, patios, framing, and outdoor structures, and durable, since the same treatment protects against termites and fungal decay while the retardant reduces smoke output and protects against bushfire up to BAL-40. Radiata pine is sustainable and widely available across Australia and New Zealand, and it finishes well, holding stains and coatings over a smooth grain. Pair it with the right galvanised or stainless fixings for exterior work, and see the rest of the external treated pine range for the surrounding build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BAL-40 pine?
Timber rated for Bushfire Attack Level 40, one of the higher bushfire construction levels. FLAMEfixx meets BAL-40 requirements for building in designated bushfire-prone areas.
How is FLAMEfixx made fire resistant?
It is pressure and vacuum treated with a wood preservative and an inorganic fire-retardant oxide, impregnated through the whole section rather than coated on the surface, so the rating holds even when the timber is cut.
Can FLAMEfixx be used for decking and screening?
Yes. It is stocked in decking and screening profiles as well as MGP10 structural sections, so you can build the deck and its framing in one compliant timber.
Does FLAMEfixx protect against termites and rot?
Yes. The same treatment includes a wood preservative that protects against termites and fungal decay, alongside the fire retardant.
Can FLAMEfixx pine be painted or stained?
Yes. The radiata pine finishes well and holds stains and coatings over a smooth grain.
